🧬 Instinto
Why does my snake flick their tongue?
A snake's forked tongue collects scent particles from the air and transfers them to the Jacobson's organ in the roof of their mouth. Tongue flicking is how snakes "smell" their environment — it is their most important sense.
Why does my snake curl into a tight ball?
Ball pythons get their name from this exact behavior — curling into a tight ball with their head tucked in the center. It is a defensive posture that protects their vulnerable head. Other species may also coil tightly when stressed.
Why does my snake release a terrible smell?
Musking is when a snake releases a foul-smelling liquid from their cloaca (vent area) as a defense mechanism. It is meant to make predators drop them. It is common in newly acquired or under-handled snakes and usually decreases with regular handling.
